Project Deck Skill

Create beautiful presentation decks to communicate project status to your future self and collaborators.

Purpose

Based on Scott Cunningham's Part 7: "Making Beautiful Decks For My Future Self" - using decks not for public speaking but to efficiently communicate work status across time and to coauthors.

The Philosophy

"I use decks to help me keep track of the work I was doing so that I can communicate it to my coauthors and myself later in the week when we meet to go over our projects."

Claude has absorbed the "rhetoric of decks" - the tacit knowledge about what makes presentations effective:

• One idea per slide
• Titles are assertions, not labels
• Lead with conclusions
• Visual hierarchy signals importance
• Repeat for retention
• Transition explicitly
